Should we assume the busted tractor is part of the track building effort, or just a coincidence?

I cant tell what is going on here, but to me it doesnt look like building tracks, but cleaning up after some other disaster, it looks like a lot of
rubble along the tracks.

It looks to me like track laying concurrent with repaving with cobblestones. The steamer is pulling cars loaded with stones, rails, spikes and ties, etc.

Looks to me like that tractor either dropped a wheel into that stone lined trench,or got too close to it and it caved.I don't know if it is a stairwell? drainage ditch? I do see a man standing in it at the right end.

Steam engine hasnt moved in a while, with the bag/ cloth over the pipe.

A whole lot of people around.

A puzzle in a puzzle, to figure out what is really going on.

Could it be climbing just an uneven hill?

Tuckingmill Hotel still exists!

Is this the same place?

I think you're right. Could have been a wash-out. However, may have been WWII bomb damage, but then the windows would have been broken.

The clothing and many of the mustaches reminds me of 1930's Charlie Chaplin era. I would guess pre-WWII.

The men at the left front of the tractor are standing in a hole.

I looked a bit closer and it is the same place. Here's a google street view. Tuckingmill, UK. No more tracks just a good road. Where those guys are standing is a down grade by the building the road is level. Hotel is still in business.
